I believe that the quote about greed may actually refer to my post where I suggested that people are buying the hamsters dozens at a time with the specific intent of ebaying them.

Ah well that bit is greedy :rotfl:

Have to agree it's pure greed for these people.....not fair to us everday folk who want to make a child happy this christmas.

Hi Liz.

Thank you for your informative reply. I now understand that if you have the funds in your bank account when you order but dont have when they go to despatch the item and actually debit your card, you will lose out. Got it!

Your further comment regarding multiple orders has got me thinking now and I would appreciate your kind advice.

I originally ordered two chunks on 10th Nov when they were showing in stock. The status on my order said Order Taken until today when it has changed to Awaiting Stock.

I phoned up play.com yesterday and was told that it would be 28 days before they were due in and I would DEFINATELY (her words) get them despatched then.

I then received an email at tea time yesterday saying they are out of stock and will update me when they can.

Today I read this thread and someone said that play.com had chunk back in stock so I went back to the site and it clearly stated in stock so I ordered two more chunks after looking at my original order where it just says awaiting stock.

I now feel guilty if I have placed two more in the queue? If I got four, I have the original two to give to my children, one to friends daughter and the other one I would sell to one of my friends (without making a profit).

I originally only planned to buy two.

I personally don't think its greedy at all, its just covering yourself. No one made you pay over the odds on ebay

Sorry yes, I was referring to Lizdav's post regarding folk buying loads and loads to sell on Ebay. I dont mind that I paid slightly more, It was my choice to do so. I wasnt complaining about it, just saying that the people mentioned in Lizdav's post are bulk buying for the sole reason of selling on to make a profit, which is stopping all of us from getting the bits we want for our kids for xmas (or ourselves lol)

Thanks atwitsend. Have heard of so many people being let down after orders taken, that I took the chance to order with two sites in the small window they were showing stock available. If I do get 3, I will also have two very happy nieces on Christmas Day.

If the ebayers are trade sellers then make sure you return them for a refund if they break after Christmas.;)

Ellafizz, just to reiterate, I wasnt getting at you! As atwitsend says, your just covering yourself, if you end up with extra, you will give to others as prezzi's or sell on, not to make a profit, it was not done intentionally by yourself. I was meaning the folk who are bulk buying with the sole purpose of exploiting those of us who are buying genuinely for our kids so they can make extra money! But by doing so are taking all the stock we are trying to get!

I personally want to say, once again a MASSIVE thankyou to all who have provided stock updates on this thread, Maximouse, lizdav and many others.
You are all stars and have helped so many people get what they needed for their little ones.
Kudos to you all

Just go into your play.com account and you'll see all your orders - just click on cancel for the most recent two - simples...
